The products A and B in the following reactions, respectively, are:
The products A and B in the following reactions

Show Hint

AgX reagents (where X can be NO$_2$ or CN) are often used for nucleophilic substitutions in organic synthesis to introduce nitro or cyano groups respectively.

  • CH$_3$-CH$_2$-CH$_2$-NO$_2$, CH$_3$-CH$_2$-CH$_2$-NC
  • CH$_3$-CH$_2$-CH$_2$-ONO, CH$_3$-CH$_2$-CH$_2$-CN
  • CH$_3$-CH$_2$-CH$_2$-NO$_2$, CH$_3$-CH$_2$-CH$_2$-CN
  • CH$_3$-CH$_2$-CH$_2$-ONO, CH$_3$-CH$_2$-CH$_2$-NC

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

AgNO$_2$ introduces a nitro group (NO$_2$) through a nucleophilic substitution reaction, replacing Br in the original compound. AgCN, used next, replaces the halide with a cyano group (CN), also through nucleophilic substitution.
